What does it mean when buying the OS X 10.5.4 when it says Media Only?

I want to buy OS X Leopard for my mac, because right now I'm running Panther, but the site I found for a cheaper way to order it says that its Apple Mac OS X v.10.5.4 Leopard - Media Only. Does this still mean that it will install just like if I bought it from apple, or is this a different installation?
 
it means that macs fail... vista blows leopard out of the water with high end computers. true, its gotten a bad wrap, but thats because so many people buy low end computers. WHY would you buy a LOW END mac when you can buy a HIGH END windows for the same price or cheaper? I mean, come on, lets compare:
My computer is running at 4Ghz Quad core with 8 GB of dual channel RAM totaling to 16 gigs of ram... is there such a thing for macs? and I also have a GTX 280 Extreme Edition video card, I mean, come on, this is possibly faster than any mac in existence not to mention the fact that there are windows computers far superior to this. Take a look at these specs that I saw several months ago:
Dual Intel I7 Xeon Motherboards Quad Core 16 Ghz totaling to 128 Ghz (16 x 4 x 2 motherboards) with 8 16 GB RAM chips totaling to 128 Gigs of TRIPLE channel RAM. Also, quad SLI Quadro FX 5800s with 4 GIGS OF DEDICATED MEMORY. Since you've got that in quad SLI with dual motherboards, guess what? you've got 8 of those totaling at 32 gigs of dedicated memory. fastest mac in existence? annihilated. not to mention the fact that this computer is running between 15 and 20 teraflops. thats 15000 - 20000 gigaflops if you are unfamiliar with the prefix tera. even THIS isn't the fastest windows. you've got computers running at petaflops now (1000s of teraflops). if my computer beats the top mac... and my second example annihilates it... then how the hell do you compare a multipetaflop computer to a mac?
